Mental health law intersects with many other areas of law, including domestic relations, personal injury, and criminal law. Obtaining mental health records is often impeded by confidentiality laws. The goal of this program is to provide practical advice to attorneys from all practice areas on the proper methods to obtain mental health records, how mental health records can be utilized, and the privacy hurdles to overcome.
